Another example of the "non-female" use of the lozenge in Aragonese heraldry.

Re: Armorial Bearings of the Archdiocese of Barcelona
This link explains something of the background of the Archdiocese, and says the following about the CoA:
https://catholicbarcelona.com/history/
The arms of the Metropolitan Archdiocese feature a patriarchal or archdiocesan cross, a lozenge with the arms of Catalonia (four red stripes on a gold background), an x-shaped cross and a Greek Cross – the former for St. Eulalia, indicating the instrument of her martyrdom, and the latter for the Holy Cross, as Barcelona’s Cathedral is named for both.
